CHAPTER 1

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION

SCIENCE PROCESS SKILL

OBSERVING

Using the sense of hearing, touch, smell, taste and sight to collect
information about an object or a phenomenom

CLASSIFYING

Using observation to group objects or events according to similarities

or differences

MEASURING AND
USING NUMBERS

Making quantitative observations using numbers and tool

with standardised units

INFERRING

Using past experience or previously collected data to make

conclusion

PREDICTING

COMMUNICATING
USING SPACE-TIME
RELATIONSHIP

Stating the outcome of the future event based on knowledge gained

through experience or collected data
Using words or graphic symbol such as tables, graph, figures
or model to describe an action, object and event
Describing changes parameter with time. Examples of parameters
are location, direction, shape, size, volume, weight and mass

INTERPRETING DATA

Giving rational explanations about an object, event or pattern

derived from collected data

DEFINING
OPERATIONALLY

Defining concept by describing what must be done and what should

be observed

CONTROLLING
VARIABLES

The manipulated variables is changed to observe its relationship

with the responding variables. At the same time fixed variables/
controlled variable are kept constant

HYPOTHESISING

Making a general statement about the relationship between a

manipulated variable and responding variable

EXPERIMENTING
SECTION C
(QUESTION 1)

Planning and conducting activities to test a certain hypothesis.

These activities include collecting, analysing and interpreting data
and making conclusions
